How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Getting My Mojo Back . . .and Getting it Off My Chest!

in Everyday on 11/25/09

It’s been a rough week so!

~I hope my Hubby thinks Hypochondriacs are *hot* cause I’ve decided I am what I am, this old bird can’t change her ways!

~I sent up a little prayer of thanks last night….to the The Lunch Lady. Thanks goodness today is hot lunch day for my darling daughters. I am so sick of making lunches!

~While I’m at it I’d also like to say a quick blessing to the makers of Tylenol, Advil and Ice packs. You rock.

~Why doesn’t Canada have a “Black Friday” of Shopping? How do I get that started here?

~Why do I bother with the non-fat latte then add a Ginger Molasses Cookie? Is this really going to keep me in those skinny jeans?

~I need a Blue Tooth. You know….some kind of wireless cell phone contraption for my car, but I’m afraid of making a shopping blunder and can’t decide which kind to buy. I have shopping paralysis!

~Why do shirts and sweaters always look so good in the store and then like crap when I get them home? Are there some kind of magic mirrors in those dressing rooms??

~Oh…and one last time. Down with Swine flu.

Random feels so good. 🙂

      Great list of randoms! I’m not a big Black Friday shopper, although, we are going on Saturday. Things are likely to be a mess and slightly picked over, but I’d much rather brave that than the HUGE crowds. Online shopping rocks! I’m 3/4 through with my Christmas shopping because I’ve done so much online! Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

      Black friday is for crazy people. So, you know I don’t go there. 🙂
      I hope you feel better!!!!
      Happy MoJo to you!

      I always have skimmed milk ( skinny ) lattes and a cookie….imagine the calories if it wasn’t skinny! And like previous comments I always have diet coke….wouldn’t drink fat coke in a million years but would never turn down a cheeseburger. ;0)

      Oh what a fun week you are having.. I think when you are at the stores everything looks great but then when you get home yup there is a change. Have a great day..

      ahah I know! Where is our Black Friday!! And our boxing day sales are usually pretty lame. Maybe this year will be better 😉

      Random Rants always feel good! So get them off your chest! 🙂

      Happy Hump Day!!

      Ramdon is always good!

      Black Friday is pure madness, and I’m not sure we should have them. We’re crazy enough on Boxing Day – that might be our “version” of Black Friday. hee.

      “Why doesn’t Canada have a “Black Friday” of Shopping? How do I get that started here?” — If you figure that out, my friend, I’ll owe you big time! How can we start that here? 😉

      Dressing room mirrors are like carnival mirrors, except they make you look really skinny 🙂

      Of course the non-fat latte cancels out the cookie! It’s the law! That’s why I always order a Diet Coke with my greasy cheeseburger! 😉

      Diet Pepsi ice cream sodas cancel out the calories you know!

      The best Thanksgiving to you!

      hee hee, I’m totally a big baby too. I once cut my hand with scissors and couldn’t stop the bleeding. I called my husband to take me to the dr. (my dh worked only 5 mins. from home) I started feeling light headed and thought I might pass out so I laid myself on the floor right in front the door. My husband came in and started laughing at me. anyways the cut was pretty bad and had to get stitches. ouch
      oh, forget the non fat anything, I don’t bother. Go ahead have the real thing 🙂

      OMGosh, Black Friday is all the buzz here in the states – I don’t participate in fear of being trampled and hey there is no way I am getting out of my toasty bed at 3:00am to wait in line outside for a store to open at 5:00am – ain’t happening.

    13. Gigi says

      November 25, 2009 at 6:24 pm

      Y’all don’t have Black Friday?? How bizarre.

      And yes those mirrors at the store are magic! This I believe with all my heart.

      You have some interesting points here. I think there is a bluetooth device for cars. It works through the car radio.

      I hope you feel better, and I don’t do Black Friday…NO WAY! I think that Thanksgiving should be a two hour holiday…let em out for dinner.
